BREEAM

BREEAM is an internationally recognised environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings. BREEAM provides a framework for sustainable design and uses recognised measures of performance to appraise the building’s design, construction and operation. The assessment covers the following sections:

Management

Health and Wellbeing

Energy

Transport

Water

Materials

Waste

Land Use and Ecology

Pollution

A percentage score is awarded for each environmental section resulting in a pass, good, very good, excellent or an outstanding rating.

The benefits of BREEAM include:

A system to help reduce running costs

Improved property marketability and return on investment

A tool for supporting planning and funding conditions
